The food donation bin in Pets at Home Oban is now being used by another charity for the next few months. If you wish to leave an item for us please put our name on it and give it to one of the staff who will put it round the back for us to collect.
The collecting bins in Aldi, Bookers and Lidl are for another grpup only. Small Paws does not benefit from anything left in those.

As an independent rescue group, we receive no government funding, and rely solely on the generosity of supporters

*****

This shelter has been here for over 20 years and was originally run
in conjunction with Small Paws Boarding Cattery. A year ago the boarding side shut down and it is now run entirely as an animal shelter.

Many years ago one of our local vets told me that before we came on to the scene most unwanted animals taken into the surgery were destroyed – cats dogs, kittens, puppies. Everything. The fate of those which didn’t get as far as the surgery doesn’t bear thinking about. Animals which were found on the street were kept for their ‘legal’ time, after which, if nobody turned up for them or a new owner couldn’t be found, they were also destroyed.

No funding is received from the Scottish or local Governments, nor from the lottery. All the money received is from donations and fundraising efforts.
We are all volunteers, no-one gets paid a penny, and we pay our own expenses. All of the money we raise is spent on the animals.

Small Paws Rescue is involved only with cats and kittens, though we can often give advice on rescue organisations which can help with other animals. Look at our ‘other animals’ page for information on that.

Our shelter is no-kill, except on a vet’s advice.

Bramble Is Missing

Bramble has been missing for a few weeks from Lerags (Oban)
Long haired torty.
Please let us know if you see her. She is much loved and missed

Please neuter your cat

An unspayed female cat can be responsible for up to 20,000 descendants in as little as 5 years - many of whom will be unwanted.
Un-neutered toms are likely to roam and fight - plus spray indoors.
